Sequel to Cafe on Callisto

Whats the best way to defeat a space pirate? Well maybe pineapple pizza will work.  At least thats what Sam and Cherry think.  This fun filled story is about the adventure that two girls have when camping on Callisto, the nicest planet in the Universe.

This book is different to other books because there arent many stories, if any, that are written about two girls who are captured by Space Pirates.  This is an exciting story full of adventure. The characters are realistic because they have interesting personalities.  You feel like you can hear them talking and begin to care about what they do and what is happening to them. The language in the story is rich, interesting and very descriptive so the words build images in your mind.

When you read this book you get hooked from the beginning.  You cannot put this book down because of all the excitement and drama that is going on.  Another fantastic book written by Jackie French.  I think its worth getting in trouble for reading under the bedcovers at night or reading while at  school, when youre meant to be working.

I think this book would be good to give or to receive as a present.  I would really recommend this book for ages 8-12.
